[ISLMA-Share] Gifts for volunteers

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I have done the "Thanks for popping into Volunteer" on the microwave
popcorn bags.
A bookmark on a card I made that said Thanks for helping in the library
with all the books. Now take some time and enjoy a book this summer.
Amazon had great prices for bookmarks, I did the magnetic one year, cheaper
then others.
Also Pintrest has a lot of good ideas.
Hope this helps.
